Broken STEM

Michelle Malkin on our broken system.

If you are a so-called American “STEM worker” in science, technology, engineering or math, if you have college-age children studying in the STEM fields, or if you have younger children who aspire to work in STEM industries and you are concerned for their future, you should do everything you can to join us.

April 22 is the last day of work for nearly 200 American workers at Abbott Laboratories, the pharmaceutical giant founded by Chicago doctor Wallace C. Abbott in 1888. The company sacked some of its most high-skilled workers in February to make way for H-1B and L-1 visa replacements from Indian offshore outsourcing firm Wipro.

If you do work for the Military-Industial Complex (I have) you are mostly protected from this sort of thing. There is a minimal level of security classification, NOFORN, that is some protection.

And people wonder why Trump is so popular.

Note: The gathering will take place at Flanagan’s Bar and Grill on Chicago’s North side at 5:30 p.m. on April 22. I have had a drink or three at that bar when I lived in Chicago.
